🕊️ SpiritualityA premium membership: Spirituality for people who want results, not another feed
The spirituality category has a notable level of interest, with the top search term "meditation course" receiving 300 monthly searches in the US and 1,600 worldwide. There are 21 communities in this category, but only 11 publish a monthly price, with a median price of $25 among those. Pricing is mostly unpublished, making anyone who clearly states a price stand out. With your format of content, live sessions, and discussion, you can engage a slice of your existing audience, dedicating 5 to 15 hours per week to foster community interaction.

600 searches a month across these terms. Ranking difficulty 24/100, unusually soft for a topic this size. Search volume measures interest in the subject, not willingness to pay for a community about it. Treat it as the size of the room, not the size of the business.
The gap: Pricing here is mostly unpublished: 11 of 21 Spirituality communities show a monthly price, and 5 of those 11 are free or under $25 a month. Anyone who states a price plainly is already unusual.
